28th June, 1950.
If your' letter No. 24/12/1/50
of the 12th June, 1950, to the Ministry
of Works, Cairo has really been addressed
(as shown on my copy) to "Ministry of
forks, Middle mast, Cairo", I think you
will find that it will either (a) be
lost, or (b) find its way to whatever
corresponds to a Ministry of Works in
the Egyptian Government and be returned
by them to you. ^t least the latter
is what happened to a letter once addressed
by my office in a similar way. It took
a long time, - and meanwhile I was bombarding
the Ministry of Works with reminders.
I think the correct address is "Ministry
of Works, British Embassy, Cairo".
